Original subtitles

Be sure to say hello to Mark for me, all right? I will.

Excuse me. Is there anything I should be doing now to prepare for the med board?

Well, sweetie, why don't you work on getting into college first, all right?

then we'll talk.

Quite a group I have this year, isn't it? Certainly enthusiastic. You have

juniors in high school already seeing themselves in private practice.

Well, that's because you got them turned on so much to a career in medicine.

Hey, listen.

I really want to thank you for coming down here.

Oh, Dawn, it was my pleasure. It's so wonderful seeing kids like this excited

about college and their professional careers. Hey, are we still on for the

hospital tour?

Oh, absolutely.

I'm bringing four kids now. No.

Just tell me when.

Well, actually, you have a choice.

You see, Dr. Goodwin is doing a retinal reattachment, and on Thursday, Dr.

Miser's performing a bowel section.

I think we'll go for ophthalmology.

I don't think there's a school in this city that doesn't have to deal with

racial tensions.

How bad is it here?

Well, unfortunately, it's pretty bad. We have a diverse group. Koreans, Latinos,

African Americans.

Even skinheads.

I try to keep files of some of the worst troublemakers.

I'd like to see them later. Of course.

Is this the first killing at Edmond?

First time in the school, yes.

But there have been several drive -bys in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Now this.

And this is bystander.

He was murdered by a collar in a car.

I'm Susan Turner from the DA's office.

Steve Sloan. This is my father, Mark Sloan. I'd like to have a few words with

Mr. Morris.

I guess I can finish with him later.

She seems efficient.

Oh, yeah.

Used to be a big Beverly Hills criminal attorney.

And she joined the DA's office and got attached to the Youth Crime Division.

She even started her own task force on juvenile violence.

Wants to get every kid with a gun off the street.

On a mission.

And she's good at it, too. I don't think she's lost a case yet.

Lieutenant Sloan, I think we've got something.

Excuse me, sir.

Oh, Dr. Sloan. Yes.

I've never worked with your son, but I understand he's very good. Well, I think

he is.

Sickening, isn't it?

Oh, it's terrible.

I'm going to find the kid who did this.

You're certain it was the kid?

Well, I think it's pretty obvious.

Well, I agree with you. It looks that way.

Attack on a student in a school.

I guess the years have made me a little wary of the obvious.

Well, I suppose in medicine that's true. No, I mean in crime.

Oh, you're an expert in that, too. Well, I'm a consultant with the police force.

Oh, you must have worked with a lot of juvenile offenders.

Well, no, not much. I just think it's a little... You can take as subtle an

approach as you like, Doctor, but I'll stay with the obvious.

A man lost his life at the hands of a teenager with a gun, and I'm going to

bring him down.

I got two positive IDs on the car.

Belongs to a kid named Tommy Park.

Tommy Park.

Know him well. And his friends.

I've had him up on charges.

I want you to come with me, Lieutenant.

I'm going to get some warrants and go to his house.

Warrants? Well, I'm going to turn his house upside down if I have to.

You know, maybe I should talk to the boy first. First, I'll get the warrant. Get

his address and...

Guess I'm going for a ride.

Did I hear the police think it's Tommy Park that did this? Well, they

his car.

No, that's hard to believe. I mean, he's actually a pretty good kid. Doesn't

seem like him.

You know where Tommy might be?

Yeah, I know where he hangs out after school.

Let me get a piece of paper. I'll give you the address.

Oh, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

If he wasn't at home, he's probably here.

Don't need to see it.

You've got a cop all over you.

Her, I know.

Hello, Kim.

You redecorating? You know damn well what happened here.

How come you ain't hassling the brothers who did this?

There was trouble here a couple nights ago.

Yeah, a little trouble.

A little trouble with the machine gun. They were trying to kill somebody.

You know who they are, so go hassle them.

I think I'll start with the retaliation and work backwards.

Now, let's see. Who is missing?

We haven't seen him. Tommy Park?

Yep. Was he in school today?

Nope, out sick.

You know he was out taking a drive.

Look.

We heard what happened, man. That wasn't Tommy. But you know what?

If it had been, I say go for it.

Somebody's got to stand up to this crap.

We ain't got to be pushed out of our neighborhoods.

We have an ID on Tommy's car.

It was stolen.

Last night.

Ah, well, that explains everything.

I suppose we can just go now, Lieutenant.

Listen, Kim.

All of you.

Tommy Park is wanted for questioning in the shooting death of the teacher at

Edgemont High School.

If I find that you've been hiding him or helping him in any way, I will come

down on you like the wrath of God.

Look, man, I'll tell you anything I know, but I ain't talking to the bitch.

there, Kim.

You'll talk to me in court. It's a matter of time. Right now, I want Tommy.

He's right here.

What are you doing here?

Came to see Tommy.

I was surprised I beat you.

Where were you at 3 o 'clock this afternoon?

I didn't go to school.

I was here all day. That's the truth, man. I was with him.

Corroborating witness.

Right.

You know, Tommy tells me he took a year and a half to customize his car. It's

unique. Really obviously identifiable. Now, why would a man drive a car like

that in the commission of a crime?

It's a badge of honor. Right, Tommy?

Builds a rep when everyone knows how bad you are.

He didn't run. Mrs. Turney's right here.

I was going to. I knew you'd come after me like you always do.

But he talked me out of it.

What are you doing, Doctor?

Playing youth counselor.

This is a murder investigation.

I'm quite aware of that. But it's also about Tommy.

What do you really know about him?

He works in his father's grocery store after school. He gets good grades. And

he's got two priors.

Larceny and carrying a concealed weapon.

A shoplifted a pair of sneakers a couple years ago.

And his old man beat his butt for it.

Yeah, didn't he? And the gun?

It was a friend of mine. It was going to his dad.

We took it out when he was just goofing around. We were shooting at cannons.

He was picked up. The gun was loaded. Stuck in his belt under his jacket.

Where were you really going that day?

Home.

I wasn't going to rob anyone.

You deal with the choir boy and him, I'll deal with the criminal.

Arrest him.

You can't do that. I can and I am.

as requested. Oh, good.

Jess, thanks for coming. No problem.

What are you going to do, wrap something up? Well, actually, I want to try to

unwrap something.

I hope you're not disturbing the evidence.

Miss Turner.

No, actually, I was going to do a little experiment here. I can come back.

Oh, no, please.

I'd like to watch a legend at work.

Legend? I asked one of my investigators about you. Words like brilliant and

legend came up a lot.

He's good.

Oh, I'm sorry. This is my colleague, Dr. Travis, Jesse. This is Susan Turner of

the DA's office.

So, please, go on.

Impress me.

Uh... I... Nuts. We got the, uh...

The protractor? Protractor. Oh, we're in a math class.

All right.

Well... Well... Okay.

Now, the preliminary autopsy reported that Mr. Delbecchio was shot at a 14

-degree angle from the street.

So, I'm just going to set the angle with this string.

Okay. Jesse, you're about Mr.

Delbecchio's size. Do you take that string and stand on the spot where he

shot?

And now hold the string to your forehead.

Okay.

Okay, that works.

So a bullet fired at that angle would have struck Mr. Delvecchio had he been

standing there.

Well, we know that.

We also know that he was killed with a MAC -10.

Now, that's where it gets a little bit confusing.

Why?

This is the bullet that killed Mr.

Delvecchio. It was picked up on the floor after it had passed through his

Well, we know that, too.

Well, the thing is, it should have been in his body and not on the floor.

See, weapons of the MAC -10 class have a couple of problems. One is they're

notoriously inaccurate, as you know, except at close range.

And they lose velocity very rapidly, about 75 yards.

Now, how far is it to the street?

90 yards.

So that bullet fired from the street would have had to travel that far

heavy plate glass and still have the power to completely pass through a man's

body. Well, apparently this one did.

Hey, Mark, do I still have to...

I'm sorry. Yes.

Here, give me that.

Okay, so that shot would have hit Mr. DiBecchio had he been standing here.

But... What if he hadn't been standing here?

Follow trajectory.

All right.

What's wrong with this picture?

The bullet holes don't line up.

Maybe the car hit a bump.

Or the gun could have bucked in his hand.

Maybe. But... Only the bullet that killed him? That's pretty bizarre.

Now, what's a more logical explanation?

There was another shooter.

Oh, I think that's far -fetched.

Is it?

We have a lot of evidence here that the man in that car couldn't have killed

Delvecchio. Well, I know something about evidence, and this is guesswork.

Tommy Park fired those shots, and I'm going to nail him for it. You don't know

that. All you've got is a car.

I'm going to wait outside.

Boy is guilty.

And I've got him downtown, and I'm going to get a confession.

I'm not impressed.

Where have you been?

Pulling string from Mark all day.

Well, he picked the right guy for the right job.

What's the rush?

He's got me on the school shooting.

Oh, yes, me too. Well, what are you doing? Well, he wants me to go down

and see if I can blend in with some of the students, see if Tommy Park has any

enemies. Blend in with the students?

Yeah, blend in. I passed for high school.

Who are you kidding?

Who am I kidding? I just got carded at Shea Chico the other night. Well, being

carded at a pickup joint isn't exactly the same as blending in an algebra

All right, I'll go as an adult.

Yeah.

Shea Chico is not a pickup joint.

I'm doing a background check on Delbecchio.

No prints, driver's license, usual.

Anything you can tell me about him?

Oh, not much. I mean, the faculty all liked him. The students seemed to like

him. What about his personal life? No friends, activities, that sort of thing?

Sorry, nothing.

But he dressed nice. He had a nice home.

I think he came for money, but I can't be sure of that.

My relationship with Mr.

Delbecchio was... was that as his employer.

This is his personnel file, if that'll help.

Fortunately, everything I know about the man's in that file.

Well, thank you.

I'll have to hold on to this for a while. Of course.

So you were in the office when the shooting took place?

Yeah. Scared me to death.

See, I was in the Marines. I recognized the sound of automatic weapon fire.

And once you've heard it... You never forget it.

I hit the floor.

Good thing.

Thanks again. Oh, sure.

So, this is my pathology lab, and unfortunately I have to get back to

you're in store for a lot more fun.

Nurse Edwards here will take you down to the operating rooms where you will see

an eye operation.

Well, okay, let's go.

John, actually, I thought you might like to see where I work.

Well, I was kind of looking forward to going to the OR.

But,

on the other hand, you know, tissue samples are really interesting.

Why don't you guys get going, and I'll catch up to you a little later, okay?

That was subtle.

You did everything to pinch me. That was coming next, shall we?

So, what do you want to know about Pete Delvecchio?

Who said this was about Pete Delvecchio?

Oh, come on, girl.

Man gets shot and you drag me down here? To talk about what?

The Dodgers' chances next year?

Okay, this is about Delvecchio. What do you know about him? Nothing.

It'll be a short talk.

Well, I said me personally.

But there are others like...

Barbara Sutter. Who is?

34, fine, and very unmarried. She teaches 10th grade social studies.

And you're going to dish me all the dirt, aren't you? Yes, I am, and you're

going to love it, too, aren't you?

Okay, so here's what happens.

Now, they're going out, right, and it's getting hot and heavy, and boom, he

dumps her. No. Yes, he did, like toxic waste, girl. About two weeks ago.

Barbara's still on leave.

She must be devastated.

Oh, I should talk to her.

Okay, but remember now... I know. Gossip's creed. I didn't hear it from

I bet you could dish the dirt on that school forever.

From Mrs.

Gretschmeyer's cooking cherry problems to Mr. Morrison's trips to Vegas.

He gambles. So I hear. And Mrs. Gretschmeyer drinks.

Like she's on shore leave.

Hello.

So now it's your turn.

Give me the dip on the doctors at Community General.

All right, but you didn't hear it from me.

Excuse me, are you Mr. Morrison?

I'm Jesse Travis.

We spoke on the phone earlier. Yes, Mr. Travis, how are you? Good, thanks. Well,

we can continue this later. Do me a favor and put my match key back on the

please. Thanks. All right.

We do periodic locker searches.

Drugs, mostly.

So, you own a garage, huh? Yeah, I bought it as an investment.

You know, a friend of mine at the outreach program said that a few of the

school kids here might be able to use a little part -time work. They could.

We've got some good mechanics, too.

Oh, Mike.

Mr. Rose, he's our auto shop instructor.

Hi. Mike Rose, this is Jesse Travis.

He may be interested in hiring some mechanics.

Well, he came to the right place.

In fact, the name was given to me by one of your students, I think.

Tommy Park.

Oh, yeah. Tommy's very good. He knows cars and he works hard.

Well, I got to admit, I heard that he was in a little bit of trouble.

Yeah, I gather he was arrested, but apparently he was released a few hours

Mr. Travis, I know these kids and, well, Tommy's different.

Why don't you meet him and form your own opinion?

Okay. Although, you know, he's going to have to work with some other guys down

at the garage. He fits in, doesn't have any enemies.

A few.

Yeah, I'll point him out. Come on, I'll introduce you to Don.

Oh!

Hey, hey, what's up?

Yo, what's up, man?

How'd it go, man? How'd you get out?

I don't know. One second I'm in, next second I'm out.

Someone made bail, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, some fool did me a big favor.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means you out.

Man, you got to deal with me. About what? About what? About what? I was

in front of that school yesterday.

You don't think I know you were shooting at me or something?

I didn't do the shooting.

That's a lot more than you could say, though, huh?

Yeah, you did a job on these pool halls, didn't you?

Who you trying to kill?

If I want somebody dead, I'm going to make sure they see my face.

Oh, that's funny. Because I see your face, and I ain't going down.

Somebody hit somebody.

Look me in your ass, B.

Sticking your skin here into the wrong place, I'm telling you. Yeah, right.

Don't see much.

Couple of jerks.

Chopsticks here should still be in the tank.

And you.

Surprised somebody hadn't stuck a blade in you a long time ago. Do you want a

piece of me or something? No, I'd rather work up a sweat.

Oh, boy, it ain't over. The hell it isn't.

Everybody get back to work. Darnell, you go to your station.

And you, you go with Mr. Morris.

I'm tired of warning you one more time. You're out of here permanently.

And that goes for you, too, Darnell.

Sorry you had to see that.

His name is Derek Moran. He's your basic troublemaker.

Hates everybody.

Is that Tommy?

Yeah, the one on the right. You boys want to come over here?

It's Mr. Travis.

He wants to see your work.

Might be a job in it for you.

This looks pretty good.

Except for this wiring, it's knife -stripped.

Too much wire is exposed and it's frayed.

It could short out.

Come on.

I'll introduce you to another group.

Yes?

Might I come in?

coffee, I took a guess you're the double latte type.

How did you get by my secretary?

Waited till she left the room.

There's more to this than a coffee break, I assume?

Yeah. The sample of the bullets from the school, from the bricks, the walls, the

one that killed Delvecchio.

You ran a ballistics match.

No one else thought to, because all the witnesses saw one shooter.

They all match up.

No surprise.

Except one.

There was a second gun?

The one that killed Delvecchio.

You win.

Is that what you wanted to hear? No. No, of course not.

You know, what I would really like to hear, though, is why a well -educated,

obviously bright, lovely woman...

with so little to go on, would barge into Tommy Park's hangout and arrest

I think he's guilty.

And no offense, I worry about the causes later.

I choose to fight the symptoms now.

And you do it because of Paul?

You check me out, so I ask a few friends about you. I'm sorry.

My husband was at an ATM machine.

It was a weekend.

He took out $200.

We were going up to Santa Barbara.

On the way back to the car, a 16 -year -old boy stuck a gun to his head.

Paul offered him the money, or he shot him anyway.

All through the trial, that boy sat in his chair lounging, dozing, laughing

his friends.

No remorse, none.

At sentencing, the judge asks him why.

Why he had shot my husband.

He said he didn't know.

I guess he just felt like it.

So he took my husband of 17 years because he felt like it.

I'm sorry, Susan.

Well, thank you for the ballistics report.

And the coffee.

You're welcome.

Susan, I'm trying to help you.

I'm not the enemy.

Nor is every kid out there.

Some are lost, but there are many more who are worthy of our care.

Like Tommy Park?

Yes.

It was you who bailed him, didn't you?

Well, yes, I did. Because I believe him.

Well, I hope that belief is well placed because you're seriously on the line

here.

Susan Turner.

Right.

Yes, I agree.

That's very strange.

Well, go through the rest of it and see if you can find any other

inconsistencies. And thank you.

That was your son.

He was going through Delvecchio's personnel file.

Delvecchio claimed he earned his B .A. from Central Illinois State on a

scholarship in 1982.

Okay. Your son, however, found out Central Illinois dropped football in

He called the admissions office?

Yep. They'd never heard of Peter Delvecchio.

So he lied on his resume.

Makes you wonder what else he lied about.

I'm going over to his house and poke around.

Mind if I go too?

Like you said, I'm on the line here.

Bet you are.

Anything?

Passport, birth certificate, the whole personal file.

Guy sure was organized.

the front door.

Welcome home.

Open this door, now!

Oh, who does this creep think he is? A U .S. Marshal. I think he said his name

was Inspector Michaels. Well, he's going to be ex -Inspector Michaels when I get

out of here.

Oh, I don't believe this.

Guns out.

Four C -nuts in here.

I think we surprised him just as much as he surprised us. You're taking his side

now? We showed him our cards. He ignored them.

Oh, this cretin has his own agenda. He either won't or isn't capable of seeing

the obvious truth here.

Now, that sounds vaguely familiar.

What are you talking about?

I was just thinking about you and Tommy Park.

Oh, I sure as hell don't think this is the time to bring that up.

Well, good. Here comes Steve.

You are in serious trouble.

Uh, Miss Turner, I really don't... You stay out of it.

Thank you, by the way.

I see you finally managed to verify who we are. Yes, ma 'am. I think I've got it

all straight now.

Detective Sloan's LAPD investigating the death of Peter Delvecchio.

You're Susan Turner, prosecutor of record on a case, and a Dr. Mark Sloan

consultant.

Right? That's very good.

Now... Well, if you don't mind, I think I should do the talking and I think you

should do the listening. Oh, you do, do you?

Yes, I do.

Yes, he does.

Now, I'm going to make this very short and I hope very clear.

Detective Sloan is no longer investigating the Delvecchio murder

We are.

You, Miss Turner, are no longer investigating, nor will you be

Delvecchio murder case.

Dr. Sloan, your consulting won't be needed, thank you.

That's it?

Pretty much.

And if we don't just back off?

I think you will, ma 'am.

By the time you get back to your offices, there will be written

your superiors from Washington, D .C., ordering you off the Delvecchio case.

I apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused you folks.

Have a nice day.

Have a nice day.

Thanks for getting us out of this. No problem.

Looks like we all got ourselves out of the case, though.

You need a lift?

Yeah, I think I'll be needing one. Thanks.

Susan. One coffee break deserves another.

You don't have a secretary to sneak by so I'll just ask. Can I come in?

Of course.

I brought cappuccinos this time.

Just what I drink, by the way. I'll remember that.

Please, sit down.

Doctor.

I'm a very stubborn person. Oh, really?

And so are you.

You think Tommy Park is innocent.

You want to keep him out of jail. I think he's guilty. I want him in jail.

And one of us is right.

You want to work together and find out which one.

Okay. Yeah.

What about Inspector Michaels?

Michaels ordered us off the Delvecchio murder. We still have the drive -by

shooting. I explained it to the DA.

Well, come on, there's some connection.

Separate crimes, though.

You proved the shooter in the car didn't kill Delvecchio, so technically we're

not on that case.

You're splitting hairs, aren't we, Counselor? Well, it worked.

I'm still on the drive -by.

You know what we're facing here?

What program does the Marshal's office administer?

Among other things, witness protection.

Yeah, and I'm betting that Delbecchio was on it.

Oh, he was.

You know that? I do now.

How? The witness protection program has got to be the most buttoned -down,

sealed -up kind of program since the CIA.

True. Unless you happen to have very cool friends in reasonably high places.

My friend is an old Yale law buddy, and...

the number two man at RICO in the Justice Department.

Very cool friend to have.

So I called him.

He whined and moaned and reminded me how careful they have to be about the need

-to -know list on all protected persons, mostly field inspectors and employers.

So I told him Delvecchio was dead. I could hardly be a threat to his safety.

But he saw my point.

Who was he, really?

Ron Swanson.

A one -time investment manager in Las Vegas.

Mr. Swanson had one client. Any guesses?

The mob.

Same mob Swanson testified against when the FBI raided his firm and arrested

him. They got five big -time convictions out of Swanson.

That's when he became Mr.

Delvecchio. Until they found him.

Is there any way that a Las Vegas mob would sub out a hit to a teenage kid?

What do you think?

There's got to be some connection between that drive -by shooting and

Delvecchio's murder.

And we have to find it.

We will.

You Bosky?

Yeah. Steve Sloan. Oh, you're here by the Honda, right? Yeah.

Car's over here.

They found it behind a couple of dumpsters on an alley off of Figueroa.

We went over it pretty good.

Found dozens of Leightons.

Sent them over to you.

Anything else?

Yeah.

Usual car crap, gum wrappers, fast food cartons, things like that.

Sorry we couldn't find any shell casings or something.

Who knows?

Maybe one of the Leightons will come back with a Thief's Prince.

Thief. Yeah, this car was definitely stolen.

Come here.

See?

Kind of a botched job, but they got a hot wire.

Possibly the owner himself made it look like it was stolen.

I don't know. Inside this car was real messy, but this baby's very clean under

the hood.

So?

So, hot wiring does a hell of a lot of damage.

It's just kind of hard to imagine that someone who cared for this car so well

would intentionally spread up the van.

You got pictures of this? Yeah.

Here you go.

All right, well, thanks.

Beat me if you get anything else. You got it.

I had to sit through a 45 -minute lecture on the art of carburetor tuning.

I was able to walk away with a couple of names of people who might have it in

for Tommy.

Mainly African -American kids, it seems.

Yeah, well, tension with the Korean community is nothing new.

How'd you do?

The only thing I found out was that Don Farabee is a world -class gossip.

So the Alvecchia wasn't having a torrid affair with the social studies teacher?

Not according to Barbara.

They only went out twice. Once to the movies, once for dinner.

They really weren't suited for each other. She liked him, and she was very

to hear about what happened, but...

Okay, so if she wasn't on her deathbed with a broken heart, where was she for

two weeks? On vacation in Bimini. Got a great tan, by the way.

She wasn't surprised by the rumors. You know, schools sort of breathe that kind

of stuff.

Teachers and students talking about each other.

Well, it was worth looking into.

There was one thing she said when we talked about school gossip.

She said that the principal was a compulsive gambler. And that stuck with

because Don Farabee mentioned the same thing. Remind me to tell Mark.

Yeah. Hey, guys. Hey.

Did you see my dad?

I haven't seen him for a while.

I just saw Tommy Park's car at the impound yard.

Looks like it was stolen.

Hot -wired.

That's funny.

What is?

The wiring. This ignition.

Why don't we go back to the school for a bit? I think this is kind of important.

No, we can go right now.

Yeah, well, my paperwork's really starting to stack up here. You two just

along.

Yeah, that's Tommy Terry.

There seems to be the same wiring.

The way it's been stripped.

It does look the same.

I've told him a million times it's the wrong way.

Tommy Park?

No, Derek Moran.

Derek Moran?

He's the kid I saw fight.

Can we get a look at his shop locker?

Yeah, it's over here.

Been working while firing a gun.

We know that Derek's the one who was doing the hot wiring.

Yeah.

School's almost out. I can pick him up here. You know what class he's in now?

No, but we can check his schedule in the office.

Susan was right after all. Was a kid driving. Yeah, she just had the wrong

I'll pick up Derek when we get to the bottom of the Delvecchio murder.

I'm going to call Susan. She'll want to be here.

No, we could have missed him by more than a minute.

The bell rang just as we were on our way to his class.

The teacher saw Derek leave the classroom, and then he disappeared in

hallway, up in smoke.

Does he know we're on to him?

Maybe. I don't like this. I'm going to radio it in, get some black and white,

start cruising the neighborhood.

Okay.

Now let's do this.

You better not be screwing with me, man.

Man, it's the skinhead who's screwing us both.

He's the one who shut up the school and the pool hall.

Man, I don't buy it.

Derek's a punk, but that's all.

Man, Derek is a damn Nazi.

He hates you and he hates me.

You starting a war between us?

Man, that's what I'm telling you. But we about to handle this now.

What's up? What you doing?

Sitting in the back.

Well, don't you have to have a warrant or something to sit in the back?

Relax, Darnell. You watch too much TV.

What do you want?

I'm curious.

Look at this.

Darnell Sands.

Tommy Parks hanging together.

This is front page stuff.

Is there a law against this?

No, but it's odd, isn't it? When did that first run into you guys? About two

years ago?

You got into it at a dance after a football game, and then there was

fight outside your dad's store, wasn't it? So were you taking all this, lady?

Well, I want to know why two guys who've hated each other most of their lives

are suddenly sitting in a car like two long -lost brothers.

Because we made up.

No, it's because you suddenly have a common interest.

Derek Moran. You're going to look for him.

Word in school is the cops are already looking for Derek.

So what makes you think we're gonna find him? Because you know him. You know

when he'll run.

The question is, what are you gonna do when you find him?

You gonna beat him?

You gonna kill him?

Tommy, I was wrong about the shooting. I'm sorry.

I can prove Derek set you up.

Let us have him.

Why? So you can come after me next week for something else?

No. But if you find Derek and harm him, I swear I will come after you, both of

you.

You'll have crossed the line and you can't come back.

You're worth it, man.

back when the trash is on my trunk.

Are you going to run me in?

Kidnapping or something?

That's not the way I see it.

I see a fugitive from justice who's been captured.

You serious?

Very.

No charges.

Tommy.

Tell me again.

Play the tapes back.

You know, I got nothing planned for tonight or tomorrow or the next day.

So I'll just wait here until you start talking.

I go to my locker last week.

What day?

Thursday.

Go on.

On the top shelf is a note.

And inside is $2 ,000.

Note handwritten or typed?

Typed.

You still have the note?

No.

Threw it away.

What did it say?

It says the money's mine.

All I gotta do is shoot up the school next Tuesday.

Be sure to hit every classroom in the front.

I do that, I get another two grand in my locker. That's it, again!

So, it was your idea to set up Tommy Clark.

And Darnell.

Takes me off the hook.

Besides, I thought it'd be fun.

Well, where you're going won't be any fun.

They did the right thing.

Darnell and Tommy.

They weren't the only ones, so did you. You talked to them.

And they listened.

Thank you, Mark.

You're welcome.

What?

You call me Mark?

Oh, I was getting sick of Dr.

Sloan. Good, good.

Oh, it's been a long day. I could use a drink.

I have a nice Chardonnay at home.

Oh, what a nice invitation.

I'm afraid it'll have to be a working thing, though.

A tobacco murder.

Right. If I'm right, I'm going to need your help. A couple of subpoenas, maybe

warrant or two.

Right about what?

I want to take another look at the pictures from the drive -by.

Something Derek said.

Anything I can help you with?

I was just trying something here. I wanted to see if I could slip this

in the locker and have it end up on the shelf.

But it doesn't work.

It lands on the bottom every time. The shelf's too high.

That appears to be true.

Yeah, so if this were locked, you'd have to open it to put an envelope on the

shelf. Do you want me to open one for you that's locked?

Do you have the only master key to all these?

That's correct. It's in my office.

Thank you.

Dr. Sloan and I are here to tell you that one of your students, Derek Moran,

been arrested for the drive -by shooting at school.

That was Derek that killed Mr. Devak, yeah. You know, it's just amazing you

weren't killed.

Me?

Well, you were here during the attack. That's what you told the police.

Yes, that's right.

Well, if you'd been sitting or even standing, you would have been shot.

It really is almost impossible to believe that you weren't hit.

Well, I heard the shots I did on the floor. I was under my desk.

This is a nice corner office. This is where the car came around the corner,

Derek started firing just as he began going by the school.

Your office was the first to be hit.

You really didn't have any warning, Mr. Morrison.

You know, the reason you weren't hit is because you weren't in your office. You

were upstairs in Mr. Delvecchio's classroom.

Killing him. Well, that's crazy.

We've heard about your gambling problem. I suspect when we look at your

financial records, we'll find out just how deeply in debt you are. You knew

Delvecchio was on the witness protection program.

You traded him to the mob for your gambling debt.

Derek was a good choice to bribe.

Very troubled young man.

You get your diversion.

And Derek sets it up for Tommy Park to take the fall for Delvecchio's murder.

How deep was Morrison into the mob?

Over $300 ,000.

He borrowed locally, but the L .A. lenders were connected with the same

that wanted Delvecchio.

I still can't understand why the mob didn't kill Delvecchio themselves. Why

Morrison? He said they made it very clear they wanted no connection between

and Delvecchio's death.

Now that Morrison's been arrested, they're totally fools.

They sure are.

Morrison's already given the FBI over a dozen names.

This is our case.

A couple of nice things came out of it.

You're Tommy Clark.

Just one.

What about the other one?

Meeting you.

That would be nice.

You know, we've had coffee, wine, a glass of wine.

We've even been locked in a car together.

What does that suggest?

We've been spending a lot of time together.

Well, it's always just so... We're co -workers, right?

I was going to say, it's a...

Well, sort of like we've been seeing each other.

You, uh, you mean dating?

A little.

Well, what you say is true, and my memory serves me correctly. The next

to... That's the way I remember it.

Peter Strauss searches for a missing girl. My gut says she's dead. With no

leads. Tell us where she is. I don't know. Can a psychic kid give the insight

needs? I see her. She's in trouble.

Help us find her. With an ending you can't miss.

She can't breathe.

I'm just gonna let her die.
